Time is the same everywhere
IT'S JANUARY OF FREAKING 2019. I often think, ‘Wow, it’s [insert day, week, month, year] already!’ It’s almost like I put my head in the sand for a while, resurfaced for air and am surprised by how much time has passed. We mark time by numbers, but that’s not how life...
Melbourne Star
I took this as our pod reached the highest point on the Melbourne Star. It was the very last day I spent in Melbourne. My cousin and her kids took me South Wharf for my last afternoon and in some ways was a fitting end - the last thing I did was see the whole city...
There and Back Again
EDORAS, MIDDLE EARTH Not by Bilbo Baggins. Although, after that LOTR tour in Twizel and cos-playing a bit (oh yes, I did), I imagine I'd be a hobbit or a citizen of Lake Town. The best was holding on to Aragorn and Arwen's sword. Her elf ears did not suit me, but I...

The Elephant House Cafe
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND So it's probably obvious by now, I'm not the most consistent blogger. I always have a list of topics in mind, but it never makes it from my brain to the screen. The best ideas come just before I fall asleep and although I do remember it in the...
Hello world!
Yes, this is a real post. I felt it was fitting as it's always the first example post from Wordpress and other blogging sites. It's also what you output as your first message when you begin to code - the feeling that you get when you can put in a strange combination...
